please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
| Without any discernable publicity, this place has been refitted and reopened. The old dedicated restaurant area has now been integrated into the rest of the pub, and it now serving a very drinkable set of Arkell's beers, with Stowford Press available as a draught cider. They are also doing food again, but that only started on Jan 4, so not tried yet. Definitely good to see this back in operation and worth visiting. kon23uk - 5 Jan 2009 20:56 |
| Some confusion over their special offers at the moment. SW6 - 22 Jun 2008 16:58 |
| SW6 is a less actionable version of my original review. Used to come here regularly with family. It now has an entire estate just behind it, yet the beer, when they have it is often undrinkable. But it has massive potential given the locality and the space it has... kon23uk - 11 Dec 2007 15:58 |
| The first time I tried to get this place added to the site was before the summer when my accompanying review was scathing to say the least. Only been in once or maybe twice since. It's a family pub selling Arkells beers and doing, what looks to be, bog standard food. The outside play area is tatty but serviceable, the beer garden (at least last time I was in) was overgrown and in need of attention, there was dog faeces hiding in the long grass and the fences were in danger of becoming, certainly in one case, a health and safety concern. It has the potential to be a great family pub but it needs TLC. SW6 - 23 Nov 2007 09:43 |
